Daring Do is a thief trying for a second chance. Phillip Finder is a private detective with no scruples. Ponyville is a city embroiled in corruption with war on the horizon. They may be the only hope for law and order left.

They told me I'd been sick. Celestia, my friends, Shining Armor, Cadance, Spike - they said that I'd contracted a virus, and that’s why I couldn’t remember two years of my life. I will NEVER forgive them.

Having one pet rock is cute; it means you’re a sensitive guy, and showing it to someone shows trust in a relationship. Having forty pet rocks is creepy, and should not be shown to your marefriend on a first date.

I beg for forgiveness for taking so long with this update. The main reason is that my first ever chapters on ponies was the beginning of Storm of Secrets. I kept going by the idea that while in Equestria, I would mimic the illogical, frivolous tone of the show; whereas as soon as they go into the Everfree Forest I would take a dark and serious tone like the rest of my work.

Generally it failed, I made a few attempts to 'fix it' by taking out some of the totally outlandish scenes, but then decided to make the Summary of Storm of Secrets so people could read LOTH without getting off on the goofy stuff, but the Summary isn't that well read and people still keep going to SOS. Given that Limits of Mercy will soon be incorporate references to those chapters, such as what happened to Trixie or the destruction of the theater (very important), I decided I would have to re-write the first eight chapters or so.

Don't sweat the time that passed before this came out; I'm actually going through the same thing. The big difference is that the stuff I'm writing is likely slightly above average at best, at least in terms of execution.

I admit that this jumping back and forth between individual storylines and time periods has already given me a major headache, especially because I completely forget what happened in the jumps a few chapters later... but I pull through because I look forward to how this turns out and what additional plot twists lie ahead.

Not sure about this newer hitchikers guide, only saw the older one. I've so gotten left behind in the whoovian department.

If you're upset that you've forgotten things that haven't happened yet, you are either a Time Lord, or my story really has broken your mind. I am sorry.

I still have details to fill in, but in my mind i know where the borders are now. Im looking at a four part series; book one is twilight. Book two sky blaze. Book three probably clastic strain. Book four is luna- nightmare moon and enigma (twi and shinings younger brother). Also tungsten gets his own thing in the backgroung.

That is rather unfortunate on what you said happen in canon but with that result comes many more questions that crop up like that castle tent from before. Actually, so many questions that I can't think straight yet. Hmm... a dilemma indeed but I guess the one standard would be as to what happened with the Main six back then?

Overall it was deciding how I justified a battle in this world being fought with apple pies. Re-write it entirely, or change it slightly and add a lot of 'behind the scenes' information that explains why the settlers thought pies would/ could stop rampaging buffalo.

She's not really angry at him. Dinky has just lost her mom, making her feel as if she's lost control, which she can't stand. Her response is to take some people, and make them feel even more helpless/ confused than she does, in order to make herself feel powerful.

Ponyville needs to have one manically crazy mare living in it at all times. After Vinyl Scratch died, Dinky needed to step up and fill her horseshoes.

She is an utter genius who has been bored out of her mind for the last 20 years. Until recently she played with Pinkie's triplets and that amused her some, but without them she's been more bored than usual. Now her mother is gone and Dinky is feeling like she's lost control over her life; her response is to make the royal siblings feel even more powerless/ confused in order to give a sense of power back to herself.

Hopefully whatever is generating 900MQ will be enough to sufficiently entertain her.
